Once Obama had 2 reporters barred from one briefing over bad decorum issues.

He did not ban the LA Times NYTimes BBC Guardian Politico Daily Mail NYPost CNN and others as Trump did to hush the Russian Mess.

Only Democratic Party organizations must be barred?
Perhaps Democrats will be decreed illegal like the Communist party was.

If Ake is happy to shut up and obey remember he was only following orders.
